Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Care

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in ON?
In Ontario, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals, meaning patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may still require a doctor's referral for reimbursement purposes, even if it's not legally necessary to see the chiropractor. Patients are advised to check the specifics of their insurance policy to confirm coverage.
Does Gene Lin, Advanced Therapies Clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
Yes, Gene Lin, Advanced Therapies Clinic offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and others. Patients should bring their insurance card or details and verify their specific plan coverage with their insurer, as coverage amounts and conditions vary. Please note that patients are responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.
What kind of education and training do chiropractors in Canada receive?
Chiropractors in Canada complete a rigorous post-secondary Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, which typically requires a minimum of three years of undergraduate university education followed by four years of intensive study at an accredited chiropractic college. The program includes comprehensive training in basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics), clinical sciences (diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, differential diagnosis), and chiropractic-specific subjects (adjusting techniques, rehabilitation). Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial board examinations to become licensed to practice.
Is it safe to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe and can be very effective for managing common musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica that often arise due to hormonal changes and shifting biomechanics. Chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women and use modified adjustment techniques and specialized tables or pillows to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Some chiropractors, like Dr. Lin, are also certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women.
Is chiropractic care covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
In Ontario, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) generally does not cover chiropractic services provided in private clinics for most of the population. There are very limited exceptions, such as care delivered within a Community Health Centre or a Family Health Team that has integrated chiropractic services, but these are rare. Patients are advised to check their private insurance plans for coverage. For seniors (65+) and dependents (under 18), the Ontario Healthy Kids Panel may provide limited coverage, but for most adults, private insurance is the primary means of coverage.
